Here’s the latest I can summarize about Secret Cinema as of now.
-
Trend and openings: The company is reportedly planning a new permanent London venue in the Greenwich Peninsula, with expectations to open later in 2026. This marks a shift from their traditional pop-up, secret-location approach to a fixed home base for immersive screenings. It’s unclear whether there will be ongoing year-round programming at that site, given the scale and current slate of announced shows.[1]
-
Recent activities and ownership: Secret Cinema was acquired by TodayTix Group in 2022, and since then there has been less public activity than in its peak years, with occasional updates about returning productions and partnerships. In late 2024–2025 there were mentions of renewed productions such as Grease and other immersive experiences, indicating a partial revival under new ownership.[2][4]
-
The broader context: Historically, Secret Cinema built its appeal on mystery, immersive sets, and audience participation, with large-scale collaborations and notable successes such as Star Wars, Back to the Future, and Prometheus seasons; the company has weathered pandemic-related disruptions and strategic ownership changes while continuing to explore immersive formats.[3][6]
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull the most up-to-date press releases or articles from specific outlets (Time Out London, standard entertainment trades) and summarize the exact dates and venues.
- Create a quick timeline of Secret Cinema milestones and ownership changes.
- Provide a short, practitioner-friendly note on what the Greenwich Peninsula venue might mean for future tickets, pricing, and accessibility.
Would you like me to focus on a particular aspect (location details, show lineup, or ticketing) or compile a brief, sourced timeline? I can also tailor to New York City context if you’re curious about any potential cross-Atlantic expansions.

Would you buy a cinema ticket without knowing what you were going to see, or where? Instead of relying on word of mouth, critics or adverts to choose your film, would you happily follow a digital breadcrumb trail of clues via email and website to the surprise venue and film? This odd setup is at the heart of the erstwhile ‘underground’ event that is Secret Cinema.
